Mark In Time
Reveal Existential Ideas
The world is still big physically, no matter how "small" a man tries to make it. There are still billions df people around, no matter how insignificant a man tries to make them. Each individual lives and dies and leaves his mark in time. And in this "small" world full of "insignificant" people is a college. It's not a big place, but then it's not really small either. There are quite a few students, there. Each one comes and goes and leaves her notch in time. Everyone leaves a mark just because they were here. But is it a scratch or a real dent? What makes the difference is the way in which the scratch or dent was made. This is the challenge. The challenge is one of honor and character and maturity. It is not one of popularity and show and "I". There are some who accept the challenge, and they come and go and leave their mark in time. Maria Grant
100-Year Misconception — NOW THAT WASN'T ZUCM In view of the recent events in Wisconsin concerning Gov. George Corley Wallace and the Presidential primary held there, leaders from both .political .parties have broken out with a rash of statements on the future of the proposed civil rights legislation. There have been disagreements both between and within the parties about the degree to which Wallace's j unexpected number of votes will effect the pending bill. But no one can deny that there will be consequences.
